Product description
Festool Granat Soft P400 Pre-Perforated Abrasive Roll 115mm x 25m
At a Glance: Extra-fine P400 abrasive roll with flexible foam backing and approximately 200 pre-perforated pads for finishing paint, curves, contours and profiles.
The Festool Granat Soft 115x25m P400 GR SOFT abrasive roll is a professional extra-fine hand-sanding solution for the careful finishing of painted, curved and intricately profiled surfaces. Its soft foam backing conforms naturally to the workpiece, maintaining consistent abrasive contact while helping to prevent concentrated finger marks and the accidental flattening of delicate details. The P400 grit creates a fine, uniform scratch pattern suited to paint-repair work, intermediate finishing and preparing compatible coatings for subsequent finishing stages. Granat Soft can be used on VOC water-based coatings as well as solvent-based alkyd resin paints, making it a versatile choice for painters, joiners, automotive refinishers and demanding finishing applications. The 25-metre roll is pre-perforated into approximately 200 convenient soft pads for quick and economical dispensing.
Extra-fine finishing for detailed surfaces
Granat Soft combines a fine abrasive surface with a flexible, cushioned foam backing. It follows curves, contours and detailed profiles while distributing hand pressure more evenly, helping the user achieve a refined and consistent finish on surfaces that are difficult to sand with conventional abrasive paper.
Product Highlights
- Extra-fine P400 grit: Produces a refined sanding pattern for careful paint finishing and surface preparation.
- Flexible foam backing: Conforms easily to curves, contours, mouldings and detailed profiles.
- Comfortable manual sanding: The cushioned construction sits comfortably in the hand and helps distribute sanding pressure.
- Pre-perforated convenience: Approximately 200 soft abrasive pads can be separated quickly without cutting.
- Broad coating compatibility: Suitable for VOC water-based paints and solvent-based alkyd resin coatings.
- Professional paint refinement: Ideal for paint repair, automotive lacquer finishing and detailed joinery work.
- Generous roll length: The 25-metre roll provides an efficient abrasive supply for regular professional use.
Product Compatibility
- VOC coatings: Suitable for sanding modern water-based paints and finishes.
- Alkyd resin paints: Suitable for conventional solvent-based paint systems.
- Automotive lacquer: Suitable for controlled hand sanding during lacquer finishing and paint-repair work.
- Curved surfaces: The flexible foam construction follows rounded and irregular workpieces.
- Contours and profiles: Ideal for mouldings, shaped components, detailed edges and profiled joinery.
- Manual sanding: Designed for hand-sanding applications rather than powered sanding machines.
Features
Features
- Granat Soft abrasive quality: Developed for controlled manual sanding of paints and finishing materials.
- P400 grit: Provides an extra-fine sanding action for paint refinement and finishing preparation.
- Foam backing material: Adds cushioning, flexibility and comfort during detailed hand sanding.
- 115mm roll width: Offers a practical working width for larger areas and shaped components.
- 25-metre roll length: Provides a substantial abrasive supply for professional applications.
- Pre-perforated format: Allows individual abrasive sections to be separated neatly and quickly.
- Approximately 200 pads: Supplies a convenient quantity of ready-sized soft abrasive sections.
- Highly flexible construction: Adapts to detailed surfaces while helping preserve their original profiles.
Benefits
- Refined surface preparation: The P400 grit creates a fine scratch pattern suited to later finishing stages.
- More even sanding pressure: The foam layer cushions finger pressure and promotes consistent abrasive contact.
- Excellent control on profiles: The flexible abrasive follows contours more effectively than rigid abrasive paper.
- Comfortable operation: The soft backing reduces the harsh feel associated with prolonged manual sanding.
- Quick pad separation: Pre-perforations eliminate the need to measure and cut each abrasive section.
- Versatile paint compatibility: Suitable for both water-based and solvent-based paint systems.
- Reduced risk of flattening details: The cushioned backing conforms to shaped surfaces instead of bridging across profiles.
- Efficient abrasive use: Individual pads can be separated as needed while the remainder of the roll remains intact.
Application
- Extra-fine hand sanding of curves, contours and shaped surfaces.
- Sanding mouldings, profiles and detailed joinery.

Extra Info
Extra Information
- P400 is an extra-fine abrasive grade intended for controlled paint refinement and finishing preparation.
- The roll is pre-perforated into approximately 200 soft pads for quick and convenient dispensing.
- The foam backing is especially useful where conventional abrasive paper is too rigid to follow a curved or profiled surface.
- Granat Soft is intended for manual sanding and should not be fitted to powered sanding equipment unless specifically approved.
- Always follow the paint or coating manufacturer's recommended sanding sequence before applying the next finishing product.
- Test the abrasive on an inconspicuous area when working with delicate, thin or unfamiliar coatings.
- The required final grit depends on the coating system; P400 may serve as an intermediate or final preparation stage according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Pro Tips
- Use light, even pressure and allow the P400 abrasive to refine the surface gradually. Excessive pressure may create an uneven sanding pattern.
- When following a coarser grit, continue until the previous scratches have been replaced by a uniform P400 finish.
- Wrap the abrasive naturally around curves and profiles rather than folding it sharply, helping preserve the cushioning effect of the foam.
- Change the sanding direction slightly between grit stages to make any remaining coarser scratches easier to identify.
- Remove all sanding residue carefully before inspecting or recoating the surface.
- Replace a clogged or worn abrasive pad rather than increasing hand pressure.
- Separate only the pads required for the job and keep the remaining roll clean and dry.
How to Use
- Confirm that P400 is the correct grit for the coating, material and required finish.
- Ensure that the work surface is clean, dry and free from loose contamination.
- Separate one abrasive pad neatly along the roll's pre-perforated line.
- Hold the foam-backed pad comfortably and form it gently around the workpiece profile.
- Sand using light, even pressure and controlled overlapping strokes.
- Check the surface regularly to avoid removing more paint or coating than necessary.
- Remove all sanding residue and inspect the surface for a uniform scratch pattern.
- Continue with the next finishing stage or finer abrasive if specified by the coating manufacturer.
- Dispose of worn abrasive responsibly and store the remaining roll in a clean, dry location.
Safety
Safety
- Wear suitable eye and respiratory protection when sanding materials that produce hazardous or irritating dust.
- Determine whether the existing coating contains lead, hazardous pigments or other harmful substances before sanding.
- Use adequate ventilation or suitable dust control, particularly when sanding painted and automotive surfaces.
- Wear protective gloves where necessary and avoid prolonged skin contact with sanding dust.
- Do not sand near open flames or ignition sources, as fine dust and solvent residue may be combustible.
- Keep the abrasive dry and do not use it for wet sanding unless the application is specifically approved.
- Dispose of sanding dust and used abrasive according to the requirements of the coating and material being removed.
- Follow the safety instructions supplied by the paint, coating and workpiece manufacturer.
